The Ride Factory

Very happy with the courtesy, knowledge, and professionalism displayed by the mechanics in this business,

I have a Honda cruiser and after shopping around several businesses my last stop was at The Ride Factory in Ybor on 22^nd st. Let me say I’m glad I stopped in to talk to these guys. I was first met by Scott. He shook my hand while he introduced himself. He took me into the office and we began to talk about what I needed. My bike needed a total carb rebuild/​re-​jet. I immediately got a good vibe off Scott. He seemed really honest and knowledgeable. So after a couple of weeks I decided to bring my bike in and have Scott do the work.
After going into the office and doing the paper work I mentioned that I was getting ready to walk over to the bus stop and get a bus home (I don’t live but 5 miles from the business) a gentlemen was there by the name of Brian and he told me not to worry about it and he was kind enough to give me a ride home. He was also very cool and knowledgeable. I told Scott to take his time working on my bike. Well by the end of the day I got the call that my bike was ready to go. When I got there to pick my ride up I met the owner Summer. She was awesome. She’s the type of woman you want to hang out with and just shoot the $%#* with! Very sweet and cool.
She was also knowledgeable. From the minute I walked into the shop for the first time, to the time I picked up my bike, they were all nothing but cool and friendly. Summer is probably one of the coolest women I’ve ever met in my life. They all made me feel like a family member or friend. They work on anything and do customizing. I saw bobbers, Street bobs, cruisers, café racer types, sport-​bikes, custome choppers, Harleys. EVERY bike you can think of. They do it all. They also have a pretty bad ass show room with riding gear and other cool stuff. (I grabbed a patch and a few stickers) the patch is on my riding vest already. Put a bumper sticker on my SUV too. :)
As far as the finished project. My bike runs like it did when it was brand new. I can’t even believe this is the same bike I brought in to be worked on. I installed Vance and Hines Cruzers and they did the rest. My bike sounds and runs incredible. It’s smooth, sounds great and just feels awesome. Scott did an amazing job and gave me some great tips and advice on taking care of my ride. Great customer service, great skills and most important to ME is their competitive prices.
In closing. My experience was top notch from the get go. I have a bike shop now forever. I won’t go anywhere else for service on my bike. I highly recommend this shop for any rider with any type of motorcycle. Thank you all for the top notch, superior customer service and making my bike run like a dream Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! See you again soon! ~Mike~
